Bamboo Theatre | Nature–Design Triennial

Xu Tiantian’s Bamboo Theater is a living structure in a rural Chinese village. The open-air theatre consists entirely of living bamboo stalks bent and woven into a domed shape. The structure is maintained by the villagers, who remove dead bamboo and weave in young shoots as they grow.

On view in "Nature–Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial" through January 2020.
